Upon entering Villa No. 8, Sophia noticed that there were cats everywhere. There were many orange cats, and there were even two Persian cats and Ragdolls.

The cats started following her once she entered the house. She picked up a Ragdoll cat randomly to pat it, and it started nuzzling her hand obediently. It looked very pretty, and it went up to the second floor together with her and Cooper. They wanted to have a look at the place she used to live in, and Sophia wanted to take some things she fancied away.

Upon entering the master bedroom, she noticed that the walls were painted in pink color, and it appeared especially warm and adorable. When she opened the door to the adjacent space, she caught sight of a splendid and spacious walk-in closet. It was completely filled with women’s clothes, handbags, jewelry, and such.

A large ruby-red diamond in a see-through security safe caught her attention. Michael explained to her, “That’s the Eternal Love, and it was your favorite ring. Take it with you if you like it; you can unlock it with your fingerprint.”

Sophia stared at the Eternal Love for a very long time. Although she adored it, she didn’t take it away in the end.

After taking a tour in the closet, Sophia didn’t take anything with her; instead, she strolled leisurely to the study next door.

There was a table in the study, and a desktop computer was placed on top of it. There were two other laptops just beside the desktop too. There were a few post-it notes stuck onto the desktop monitor.

There were things like, ‘Go on a diet after delivering the baby to take our wedding photos’, and ‘Get the company listed in three years’ time’, scrawled over the notes.

Furthermore, there were quite a number of photos beside the desktop—some of Michael and Sophia, Sophia and Nathan, and the three of them together as a family. There was even one picture, where they had their photos taken with the pandas in the Panda Foundation.

Sophia picked up the panda photo excitedly. “Are these the pandas we adopted?”

 

Michael answered in a hurry, “Mm-hmm. Let’s visit them if time allows. They were still babies when we adopted them, but they have grown into adult pandas now.”

He did not have the courage to get closer to Sophia because Cooper had been watching him like a hawk.

 

Sophia stared at herself in the picture. In the photo, her eyes were twinkling with laughter, and it was obvious that she was truly happy at that moment.

After going through the photos, Sophia turned to look at the study table. There were piles of textbooks of university’s specialized subjects. Some of them included Computer Science, Economics, Finance, and Accounting.

Furthermore, she saw a few collectors’ CDs and DVDs too. Sophia even noticed the CD Carmen had shown her in secret.
